Be it known that I, HENR H. OUVERSON, a citizen of the-United States,residing at Hanlontown, inthe county-of- North and State of, Iowa, have invented certain new or Heads, of which the following is a specification, reference be ng had to the accompanying drawmgs. 1

This invention relates to pumps,-a nd particularly to the pump stander head of. a

pump.

The general provide a permanent standard which can be fastened permanently to the well cover or casing and which will detachably support the usual dome, the spout section and the pump jack or other operating mechanism, and which is so constructedthat when. the pump needs to be repaired, the pumping head may be readily removed to permit the a drop pipes, cylinder, etc., of the pump to be pulled out of the well without removing this base or standard. A further object is to provide a "pump construction ofthe character described {including a standard large enough in diameter to permit the passage therethrough of the drop pipes, cylinder, etc.,' and to providea spout section detachably engaged with the standard to which the drop pipe is secured, and provide a dome sect-ion detachably secured to the spout section and provide means whereby the pump jack-may be detachably secured to the dome section, thusmaking all of these partsin separate sections so that in case of breakagethey may be readily re placed or renewed without having to renew the t entire pump, and furthermore making the pump mechanism capable of repair without the necessity of taking up the pump standard or disturbing the pump jacks or other machinery.

A still further object is to provide means whereby the relatively long drop pipes may be readily removed from the pump;

Another object is to so construct the base or standard that not only may the objects above described be secured 'but the standard will make a very strong support for the pump jacks or other machinery andwill render the pump structure much more substantial than it otherwise I would be.

Still another object is to so construct the pump head that the; first coupling of the plunger rod, which very often gives trouble,

tion object'of my invention is to Figure 2 is a verticalsectional viewtaken 192a Serial No. 550,718.

can be readily repaired without the necessity of and expense of pulling the pump out of thewelland of removing the drop pipe, ashes to be done in the ordinary form of pump. 7 Other objects will appear in the course of the following description.

My inventionis illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure'l is-a front elevation of pump constructed in accordance with myinvenfromffront to rear of-:the:pump;.-

- Figure 5 is a side elevation showing the v, Figure 8 is a section on the line 3 3of base or standard of thepump with the draw pipe 19 and the section l4 removed therefrom; I K 9 "Figure 6 is an enl-arged fragmentary sectional View to show thejdetailsoff-the section l l-p Referring to thesedrawings, 10 designates a pump standard, which is illustrated as circular in crosssection',though cross section may be used, and as being relatively large indiameter. The upper ,end of this standard 10 is formed with an annular flange 11, the upper face of'which is below the upper end of thecentralportion or hub 12. Theloweryend ofthe pump; standard is outwardly anddownwardly flared to form a be se portion 13 which is attached, by bolts, screws or. other well-known devices to the well cover or equivalent part. Adapted to be disposed upon the upper end of the standard is a. flat section or head 14L which is preferably, though not necessarily, circular in crossisection, and is formed on its under, face with a seat-15 to" receive the upwardlywextending hub 12 and with a downwardly extending,' annular flange l6'resting upon the flange 11, there being a gasket 1'7 disposed between the flange 11- and the flange 16. There is a central chamber-l8 formed in theinterior of the section 14 and 'a'central inlet opening i rounding. this opening. Extending laterally used, however.

Disposed above and resting upon the section 14 is the dome section 26, which is of the usual form, the lower end of this dome section being formed with a central hub ting into the seat 21 and an annular flange 2? which rests upon thesection l4. Bolts 29 pass downward. through a bolt passage formed in the section 1% and through bolt openings formed in the flanges 27 and 11, these bolts therefore holding thesection. 14 to the standard 10 and the dome 26 to the section 14. The upper end of the section 26 is formed with a relatively contracted neck 30, the lower portionoit' which has the outwardly projecting flange 31. Surrounding this neck and resting upon the flange 31 is a head 32 having a packing gland 33 at its upper end through which the pump rod 34L passes, this head being held to the dome section by means of bolts 35, the lower ends of which are angularly turned to engage beneath the flange 21.. This sect-ion supports the usual pump jack, which need not be specifically described, as it is of ordinary form. and in common use.

As before remarked, the drop pipe 19 has screwthreaded engagement with the head. 1 1'. Passing through this drop pipe is the pump rod section 36, the'lower end of which carries a piston 37 operating within cylinder 38.

in turn connected to the pipe 39. This pump rod section 36 is connected by the usual coupling 40 to the upper pump rod section 34. i

It will be obvious that this pump, which may be operated by power, as for instance by a windmill, motor, or in any other suitable manner, operates and is used in the ordinary manner, but if a part of the pump head or pumping mechanism breaks. however, then it will be seen that it is a relatively easy matter to remove the broken part or section and replace it with a new section. Thus this broken part may be replaced at a small cost instead of having to buy an entirely new pump head. Inasmuch as the spout 23 is removable from the section 14.

it is obvious that any spout now on the market may be utilized, and it is an easy matter to procure a new spout in case the old spout becomes broken- Ordinarily, if the spout or pump becomes broken, it is necessary to entirely replace the'pump head. With this construction, when the pump needs to be repaired the drop pipe, plunger rods and cylinder may be pulled up out of the well and up through the lower half of the pump stand after detaching section 26. That .part of the 29 which hold the three sections of the pump head together. Then the drop pipes and cylinder may be readily removed for the reason that the base 10 or standard has a diameter greater than the diameter of the cylinder or any of the parts of the pump which extend through or depend below the cylinder. The drop pipe, it will be noted, is secured to the section lhand by this arrangement the difliculty is avoided of mak ing a water-tight joint at'the junction of the section 14. with the standard. 1 The joint between the sections- 14- and'26 need only have suiiicient packing'to take care otthe splashing of the water or the rising of the water into the dome-above when the pump is operated. g

In taking up the drop pipe from'the well, section'lneed not be uncoupled from the pipe, thus eliminating danger of breaking the casting while "unscrewing it from the pipe. In the ordinary pump, the stand or head is often broken in disconnecting it from the drop pipe. Coupling 4:0 is the first or top coupling in the plunger rod of any pump. In the ordinary pump this coupling cannot be reached'without detachingthe entire pump head from the, drop pipe, as the ordinary head is cast in one piece andthe drop pipe is screwed into the stand. 'In my' pump stand, however, the coupling 40 may be'reached by simply tale ing ofl'the upper half of the stand or section 26.

The first coupling, or couplingO, of the plunger rods very-often gives trouble and this may be readily repaired by simply taking ofi' section 26 of the dome section withmoving'the drop pipe, as has to be done in the ordinary type of p p -Not only does the standard 10 by reason oi its largediameter permit the removal of the drop pipe and cylinder'without remov ing the standard, but this large standarr. materially increases the life of the pump. as it makes a very strong support-for the pump acks or other machinery and renders the pump, therefore, much more substantial. than ordinary pumps Where the pump is run by windmills or other power.

It is particularly emphasized that the primary advantage of my pump stand is due to the fact that the cylinder, pipes and plunger rods may be taken up out of the well the stand or head which is fastened to the I believe to be particularly effective, I do. not wish to be limited to these details, as it is obvious that many changes might be made therein without departing from the spirit of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

I claim 1. In a pump, a

spout section and the upper end of the standard and engaging these three parts to gether, and a drop pipe detachably engaged with the spout section and discharging into the central chamber thereof, the standard having an interioridiameter greaterthan,

the drop pipe or any part connected thereto. 2. In a pump, a hollow standard, a drop pipe extending downward through the:

standard and carrying a pump cylinder at its lower end, a spout section detachably-engaged with the upper end of the standard and connected tothe upper end of the drop pipe, a dome section detachably engaged 3 with and resting upon the spout section and f.

hollow standard flanged at its upper end, a spout section resting upon provided at its upper: end with a pump liead, I a plurality of bolts a passing: vert cally through the spoutsection andjdetachably connected to the adjacent ends of the standard and thedome section, thereby c0nnecthaving a diameter greater than the drop pipe and greater, than rthe pump cylinder, Whereby'the drop pipeand the cylinder may ing saidparts-together axially, the] standard be passed upwardly or ,dou rnwa'rdly.v through t Y the standard. I i i 3. In pump, a hollow standard, a spout section" detachably engaged with the up er end of the standard and having means to means for aligning the dome section with the" spout se'ction axially, a. plurality of con-e I Y "align thesections axially withithe standard, i a dome section detachably engaged with and e resting upon the spout/section and including nectors passing through the spout section'- and detachably connected with the adjacent v,

said parts, a drop pipe depending from'the spout section and extendingv downward through'the standard an'd'carryin g a. pump ends of the standard and 'thelfdome'"section-j for drawing together and axiallyconnecting 1 cylinder at its lower end, thestanda rd being Y of 'a diameter greater than the pump cyl inder, whereby the [cylinder'may pass upwardly through the standard, when the drop.

pipe is hoisted upwardly through the standard.
